I am planning to reload my 6mm remington, with Vihtavuori N-133 powder. I plan on loading some hornady 100grn BTSP's over this charge. Problem is i cannot find any load suggestions for this, even from the company itself. It would be great if anyone could give me any suggestions or possilby a load that has worked for you in the past.

Thanks,
Chris

You probably won't...

It is not a suitable powder for your caliber and bullet wieght.

Thanks for the advise. Actually a local dealer sold this powder to my father, telling him that this was best and most accurate powder for this load. I will be sure to call him and see what he has to say. Otherwise, the only other powder i currently have is reloader 22, which will work, though it might take some research to find a suitable load.

RL-22 From 40.9 grains to 48.0 grains
Remington 9-1/2 Primer

I found that in my last series of loadings that RL-22 was the powder of choice...


As for the N-133...
In 6mm cartridges, it is best suited for use in the 6mm PPC with 50 and 55 grain bullets.

It is also usable in the .243 Winchester with 55, 58, 60 and 70 grain bullets; the 6mm Norma Benchrest with 70 and 77 grain bullets; the 6mm Remington Benchrest with 58, 65, 70, 75 and 80 grain bullets; and the 6mm PPC with 58, 65, 70 and 75 grain bullets.

Yellowfever: I second Ricciardelli's recommendation. 47 grs. RL22 and a Rem 9 1/2 primer is the load of choice in my No. 1 Ruger. Excellent!
